Best McAllen hotels

McAllen HotelsYou'd be hard pressed to find a spot in Texas that wasn't picturesque, and McAllen certainly doesn't disappoint on that score. Located in the southern tip of this much-mythologized state, it's set within the majestic Rio Grande Valley, so there's plenty to look at even before you get here. And once you do arrive you can immerse yourself in the nightlife, explore the arts scene, and of course indulge in some serious retail therapy at some of the mammoth shopping centers.Things to seeProving that you don't have to stick to the major US cities if you're after culture, McAllen boasts its own very active arts scene. You can see it for yourself along the bohemian-flavored Main Street, where dozens of art galleries are lined up and waiting to wow you. As well as being able to admire avant-garde sculptures and installations, you can also enjoy the culinary arts at some of the bold and quirky restaurants catering to the creatives who work here. On a sunny day head over to nearby Archer Park, which has been a landmark for over a century. For more natural beauty, check out the vibrant blooms of McAllen Botanical Gardens, and even more striking is Quinta Mazatlan, a classic Spanish Revival adobe mansion surrounded by acres of tropical gardens which is famed for its dazzling birds, from buff-bellied hummingbirds to seemingly glowing green jays. The International Museum of Art & Science has interactive exhibits designed by NASA, which kids will find a blast, while grown-ups will lap up the nightlife on 17th Street.Hotels in
